Stylish men love to be the first in the know when it comes to new technology.  Not only will the newest BlackBerry app up your "swag" points, you'll join the league of the socially conscious.  It's a solution for all those drivers who stray from their lane due to texting while driving. (You know who you are.)  DriveSafe.ly, is the first-of-its-kind app that reads your texts out loud.

Simply download this BlackBerry app to your phone and voilà, you now have a personal virtual assistant at your disposal. Say goodbye to those days of reading text messages while swerving down I-75. Instead, let the velvety voice of the app’s female narrator read your text messages to you.

As for the real danger of driving – the responding – you can set up a handful of textual auto replies. Urbandaddy.com recommends two: “one for the boss, your parents and the ex ("I'm busy"), and one for pretty much everyone else ("You read my mind—see you soon")”.

DriveSafe.ly, available now for BlackBerry and Android phones; soon for iPhones and Windows Mobile
